It is really hard to find good terminal colours for both light and dark themes.
I've replaced uses of 'bright' colours with bold as it seems to work better. git-diff does the same thing.
Explicit black and white colours are available, but you can't assume the default colour!

I really like base-2 prefixes in writing, e.g. 1 KiB, 2 MiB, 3 GiB and so on. It's way more explicit.
However, SI units are k M G and so on. Switching between lowercase k and uppercase Ki keeps tripping me up.
I admire that Chromebooks have an explicit date when they stop receiving security updates. Many devices aren't so clear, so we can't have useful discussions like this:
"It is better to have 100 functions operate on one data structure than 10 functions on 10 data structures." — Alan Perlis
I'm still not sure I agree with this: explicit data types are often nice. Following this maxim leads to pervasive lists or hash maps.
